CBL0137 for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors, Including CNS Tumors and Lymphoma

Recruiting now · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: Diffuse Midline Glioma, H3 K27-Altered, Metastatic Malignant Neoplasm in the Central Nervous System, Recurrent Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, Recurrent Diffuse Midline Glioma, H3 K27-Altered, Recurrent Lymphoma, Recurrent Malignant Solid Neoplasm, Recurrent Primary Malignant Central Nervous System Neoplasm, Refractory Lymphoma, Refractory Malignant Solid Neoplasm, Refractory Primary Malignant Central Nervous System Neoplasm

In brief

This phase I/II trial evaluates the best dose, side effects and possible benefit of CBL0137 in treating patients with solid tumors, including central nervous system (CNS) tumors or lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Drugs, such as CBL0137, block signals passed from one molecule to another inside a cell. Blocking these signals can affect many functions of the cell, including cell division and cell death, and may kill cancer cells.

Who can join

Age: 1 and older, up to 21. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Parts A and B: Patients must be >= 12 months and =< 21 years of age at the time of study enrollment
• Patients must have had histologic verification of malignancy at original diagnosis or relapse, except in patients with diffuse intrinsic brain stem tumors, or patients with pineal tumors and elevations of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or serum tumor markers, including alpha-fetoprotein or beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG)
• Part A: Patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors or lymphoma, including patients with CNS tumors or known CNS metastases (including untreated or progressive) are eligible
• Part B: Patients with progressive or recurrent DIPG (diagnosed by biopsy or imaging characteristics) and other H3 K27-altered DMG previously treated with radiation therapy
• Part A: Patients must have either measurable or evaluable disease
• Part B: Patients must have measurable disease
• Patient's current disease state must be one for which there is no known curative therapy or therapy proven to prolong survival with an acceptable quality of life
• Patients must have a performance status corresponding to Easter Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scores of 0, 1 or 2. Use Karnofsky for patients > 16 years of age and Lansky for patients =< 16 years of age. Patients must have a Karnofsky or Lansky score >= 50%
• Patients must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of all prior anti-cancer therapy and must meet the following minimum duration from prior anti-cancer directed therapy prior to enrollment. If after the required timeframe, the numerical eligibility criteria are met, e.g., blood count criteria, the patient is considered to have recovered adequately
• Cytotoxic chemotherapy or other anti-cancer agents known to be myelosuppressive
• Solid tumor patients: >= 21 days after the last dose of myelosuppressive chemotherapy (42 days if prior nitrosourea)
• Anti-cancer agents not known to be myelosuppressive (eg, not associated with reduced platelet or absolute neutrophil count [ANC] counts): >= 7 days after the last dose of agent
• Antibodies: >= 21 days must have elapsed from infusion of last dose of antibody, and toxicity related to prior antibody therapy must be recovered to grade =< 1
• Corticosteroids: If used to modify immune adverse events related to prior therapy, >= 14 days must have elapsed since last dose of corticosteroid. Patients with CNS tumors receiving corticosteroids must have been on a stable or decreasing dose of corticosteroid for at least 7 days prior to enrollment
• Hematopoietic growth factors: >= 14 days after the last dose of a long-acting growth factor (e.g., pegfilgrastim) or 7 days for short acting growth factor. For agents that have known adverse events occurring beyond 7 days after administration, this period must be extended beyond the time during which adverse events are known to occur
• Interleukins, interferons and cytokines (other than hematopoietic growth factors): >= 21 days after the completion of interleukins, interferon or cytokines (other than hematopoietic growth factors)
• Stem cell Infusions (with or without total body irradiation [TBI]):
• Allogeneic (non-autologous) bone marrow or stem cell transplant, or any stem cell infusion including donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) or boost infusion: >= 84 days after infusion and no evidence of graft versus host disease (GVHD)
• Autologous stem cell infusion including boost infusion: >= 30 days
• Cellular therapy: >= 42 days after the completion of any type of cellular therapy (e.g., modified T cells, natural killer [NK] cells, dendritic cells, etc.)
• Radiation therapy [XRT]/external beam irradiation including protons: >= 14 days after local XRT; >= 150 days after TBI, craniospinal XRT or if radiation to >= 50% of the pelvis; >= 42 days if other substantial bone marrow (BM) radiation
• Radiopharmaceutical therapy (e.g., radiolabeled antibody, I-131 metaiodobenzylguanidine [131I MIBG]): >= 42 days after systemically administered radiopharmaceutical therapy
• Patients must not have received prior exposure to CBL0137
• For patients with solid tumors without known bone marrow involvement:
• Peripheral absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1000/uL (performed within 7 days prior to enrollment unless otherwise indicated)

You may not qualify if…

• Pregnant or breast-feeding women will not be entered on this study due to risks of fetal and teratogenic adverse events as seen in animal/human studies, OR because there is yet no available information regarding human fetal or teratogenic toxicities. Pregnancy tests must be obtained in girls who are post-menarchal. Males or females of reproductive potential may not participate unless they have agreed to use two effective methods of birth control, including a medically accepted barrier or contraceptive method (e.g., male or female condom) for the duration of the study. Abstinence is an acceptable method of birth control
• Patients receiving corticosteroids who have not been on a stable or decreasing dose of corticosteroid for at least 7 days prior to enrollment are not eligible. If used to modify immune adverse events related to prior therapy, >= 14 days must have elapsed since last dose of corticosteroid
• Patients who are currently receiving another investigational drug are not eligible
• Patients who are currently receiving other anti-cancer agents are not eligible (except leukemia patients receiving hydroxyurea, which may be continued until 24 hours prior to start of protocol therapy)
• Patients who are receiving cyclosporine, tacrolimus or other agents to prevent graft-versus-host disease post bone marrow transplant are not eligible for this trial
• Patients who are receiving drugs that are strong inducers or inhibitors of CYP3A4, CYP2B6 (e.g., carbamazepine) and CYP1A2 (e.g., ciprofloxacin, enoxacin, fluvoxamine, smoking) are not eligible. These agents are to be avoided for 7 days prior to the start of CBL0137 and for the duration of the protocol therapy. Sensitive substrates of CYP2D6 (e.g., atomoxetine, desipramine, dextromethorphan, eliglustat, nebivolol, nortriptyline, perphenazine, tolterodine, R-venlafaxine) should also be avoided for the duration protocol therapy
• Patients who are receiving drugs associated with a known risk of Torsades de Pointes (TdP) are not eligible. Drugs associated with known risk of Torsades de Pointes (TdP) are to be avoided for 7 days prior to the start of CBL0137 and for duration of the protocol therapy
• Patients with known peripheral vascular disease are excluded
• Patients with a history of pro-thrombotic disorder are not eligible
• Patients who have an uncontrolled infection are not eligible
• Patients who have received a prior solid organ transplantation are not eligible
• Patients who in the opinion of the investigator may not be able to comply with the safety monitoring requirements of the study are not eligible
